5.8 SEARCH THE COMPUTER AND FIND WHAT YOU WANT

Some of us spend too much time searching for something we have written in the past but the computer offers several ways to make this search process easier. The more up-to-date your Windows and Office software, the easier this search procedure becomes.

WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS 7:

Press the Start key, type whatever it is you are looking for but don't press Enter. Just wait a second or two and ARROW DOWN until you hear what you are searching for and press ENTER. This process is amazingly quick and flexible whether you want a document, video, music or something else.

OUTLOOK WITH OFFICE 7 AND LATER:

With the Inbox list of your emails on screen, press CONTROL E or the TAB key five times until you hear "Search Query".

Type what you are looking for, a name or phrase which you think occurs in one of your emails. Don't press Enter. In a very few seconds, all the relevant emails will appear.

Tab three times until you hear "message", press the HOME key to get to the top of the list and then ARROW DOWN until you hear the message title you think you want. Press TAB and listen to that email using the Arrow keys.

Press ESCAPE to get back to your Inbox when finished.

WINDOWS XP:

At the Start Menu, press S to "search" then press ENTER.

You are taken to a series of buttons and you need to Tab until you hear the button which is relevant to your search. The choice is:

Pictures, Music, Videos; Documents and Spreadsheets; All Files and Folders (perhaps the most used); Computers or People; Information and Support; Search the Web; Preferences.

Suppose you press ENTER on "All Files and Folders" and type the name of a file called Letter. Press ENTER and a list will pop up around the topic of letters, assuming of course you have filenames that contain the word "Letter".

ARROW DOWN and UP until you hear the file you need, and press ENTER. The document is then open on your screen.
